Big Head Todd and the Monsters

For weeks last year, Todd Park Mohr rode on a bus with David "Honeyboy" Edwards and Hubert Sumlin, blues guitarists who had grown up in the Mississippi Delta in a different world, avoiding the cotton fields and dodging brawls before growing up and moving to Chicago. "It's a lot of swashbuckling and gunslinging, knife-toting, drinking, whoring -- just crazy stories," Mohr, 46, said with a laugh almost a year ago, as his band, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, was performing on a blues tribute tour with Edwards and Sumlin.8 p.m. Saturday at House of Blues, 329 Dearborn St.; $62.50; 312-923-2000 or ticketmaster.comRead the full Big Head Todd and the Monsters interview
